The meet was held at Coulter Airfield in I Brvan. By MARJORIE McLAUGHLIN Battalion Reporter The shift is over at the oil rig off the Louisiana coast. Among the tired, dirty men sitting down to dinner is a philosophy student from Texas A&M University. Dr. Charles Powell, director of Student Services Research Office, hopes to line up many such unusual opportunities for students in a new program he calls, “Unusual Experi ences for Unusual Students.” The program, scheduled to begin in December, will be open to all students, regardless of classification or grade point average. According to Powell, students are not limited to experiences con nected with their major. “Our goal is total education for an individual,” he said. “It (the pro gram) will offer additional oppor tunities to do things that interest the students.” Powell said that letters are being sent to Texas A&M alumni in many different areas of work, asking if they, or their companies can make short term jobs, volunteer jobs or tours available for students. Observing overseas oil opera tions, attending Congressional hear ings in Washington, D.C., or spend ing two weeks with political colum nist Jack Anderson, are some of the experiences he believes may be be available. Powell stressed that unlike the University co-op programs, stu dents will not be given college credit for their work. What they will gain, he said, is insight into many different careers. Although he expects to have some University funds budgeted to pay for traveling and lodging, Powell said that he hopes to get the com panies involved to pay some of the students’ expenses such as room, baord, and spending money for vol unteer workers. Powell said that as soon as the program gets under way, forms will be available for students to fill out. These will let them indicate their particular interests. The forms will be filed at the Student Services Of fice and Powell will match up stu dents with experiences. “I hope that we can get some very unusual opportunities for students — ones that they cannot even begin to imagine,” he said.
